When asked about the Massachusetts ,
election, which will take place on Tues
day, Mr.. Saltonstali said: 1.-The situa-s
ton may be summed up in the state
ment that the Republicans are afraid
and the Democrats are not confident.
The natural thing would be for Massa-
chusetts to go largely Republican. But
the Republicans are SquaWking So
loudly that the Democrats think there
is some show tor them. 1t may be only
ruse OF the enemy TO get out their
voters and otherwise deceive the Demo-
Gratis. There are so many uncertainties
that would not attempt to predict the
result
What is the uncertain quantity?"
''The general disturbance OF party
lines more than anything else. You
could not reasonably expect two great
parties to go along forever, in both of
which there are large protective and
free trade factions, without reform
ing of party lines sometime or some
where. That process is going on in
Massachusetts and all over the country
at the present time"
